Sneaking Past the Censors

Steam troubles again? Bah. I have to have my IPS/UTM firewall(1) set to disable certain alarms on connections to the Steam servers (well, actually to a range of machines on Akamai, which they use as a CDN) otherwise chunks of the GUI, especially the store, don't work correctly. (Fussy: they sometimes work, sometimes don't.)

They say to disable stateful inspection for all their traffic. I say, "Fuck. That. Shit."

The Holiday Inn one is hardly a WTF, more a poorly presented. It says "You have selected" past tense, so you chose a single room and NA (not appilicable) you didn't have any preferences for the other options. Not you have three choices two of which are not viable options.

Makes perfect sense (FSVO) if you give it an all-zeros date (possible in MySQL at least) and it interprets year zero as 1900, and has lax handling of out-of-range month and day values - (19)00-00-00 is then one month and one day before 1900-01-01.
